# Container Installation

This installation variant enables using the software on the fly with Docker or Podman,
without actually installing it on your system.

:::{note}
To make it work, the container image comes with the Debian package
`libgl1` pre-installed.
It will probably provide suboptimal hardware acceleration support,
so it should probably only be used for evaluation purposes.
